Cellular Symphony - Robert Sheldon

In the style of Mozart's and Haydn's , this tongue-in-cheek composition not only is great fun for the audience, but also makes a statement about the use of cell phones during concert performances! The classical style is an excellent teaching tool for younger players, while the percussion section has an opportunity to try out their latest ring-tones. This could also feature your Principal, Superintendent, school board members or the Mayor as the "cellular soloists".

A jubilant, energetic masterwork from a great composer, this is a wonderful opening selection for any concert or contest. With crisp articulations and woodwind runs that truly 'fall well' under the fingers and with exciting percussion parts that enhance the joy of the work, this is a timeless work. The brass parts lie right in the meat of the instruments' registers, with plenty of opportunity to rest up for the remainder of the concert.

Centennial March - Steve Hodges

This uplifting march begins with the clarinets presenting the melody over a single snare drum accompaniment. The textures increase as the melody is developed, leading to a heavier minor section featuring strong lines by the low brass and woodwinds. A modified "roll-off" by the percussion section leads to a seamless modulation and the final presentation of the melody. A dynamic augmentation of the melody brings the march to a stirring conclusion.
